Teeth Whitening

Your teeth will darken over time. Changes in the color of your teeth can be caused by such factors as the food and beverages consumed (like coffee, tea and soda). Other known factors for discoloration may include childhood medications or illnesses, tobacco use or improper oral hygiene. Restoring your natural white smile is a priority for our dental whitening team. We can provide a variety of options for whitening your smile.

Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that is growing in popularity, and it’s one of the most requested services offered by our practice. Everyone sees the growing consumer market focused on whiter teeth. The reality is that over-the-counter, “too good to be true” solutions typically don’t work.

We are trained professionals using industry-approved methods. Our goal is to meet the needs of every patient, and every patient’s needs are different. One of the methods used by our practice is a gentle hydrogen-peroxide gel-activated solution administered at your convenience at home.

Our practice is also proud to offer the cutting-edge whitening system called Guided Light Optics (GLO). Featuring exclusive G-Vial Gels and a closed-system mouthpiece, patients experience dramatic whitening without the risk of tooth sensitivity. Individuals begin by applying the whitening gel directly onto teeth from the G-Vial. Next, they insert the mouthpiece and press the GLO button from a simple, hand-held device. The gel warms as it illuminates, providing revolutionary whitening in intervals of 8 minutes. Contrary to other methods in which oxygen escapes the surfaces of teeth, closed-system whitening with GLO ensures that individuals achieve the level of whitening they desire (up to five shades in five days!).

When it comes to delivery and application, patients rave about the comfort and ease of their teeth whitening experience with GLO.

Committed to excellence in cosmetic dentistry, the talented dentists at Springfield Lorton Dental Group understand that nothing boosts your appearance more than a bright white smile.
